Default Lower wind deflectors with batwing

I had previously fitted my -06 Heritage Softail with the light bar (-06 model didn't have it straight from the factory). I also had fitted the lower wind deflectors from Motorcycle storehouse to it, tough I have a feeling they where the wrong way around before.
Now I bougth the Memphis Shade batwing for my bike but the lower wind deflectors no longer fit with it (as seen in the attached picture). Has anyone else had the same problem?
Main thing seems to be that the turn signals are too far back. Anyone know if there is a kit that moves them or something?

I've got a Reckless fairing but I believe the MS mounts the same.
From your pic it looks like you're showing the right fang on the left side.

Move the one you have in your picture to the right and they should clear.

Here's a pic of my left side.

From your picture you are showing the fang in the correct position. But with a light bar you switch sides with the fangs. You can do that with the old style fangs. The new fangs fit only one way, or so I have been told. At the dealer I was told that the new fangs will not fit my 2016 Deluxe.

Are you sure the OP's picture shows them in the correct position?
From my view the right fang is shown on the left side.

The attached description shows the new style fangs, but the one's the OP shows mount the same.

Thanks for replys. So it seems I have to flip the fangs and then install them so that the fangs are the top part (when mounted the other way around they would block the quick releases of the batwing if they where installed before them). And that leaves quite a gap when looking from the front. Ohwell.

What do you mean by "flip the fangs"?
Are you talking about installing them upside down?
If you did that I would think you would render them useless.

As for blocking the "quick release", I think you will find that once the batwing is installed it will not be coming off very often so making it a little more difficult to remove might not be that big of a deal.

Below is some more pics of my setup.
Hope you figure it out.

By flipping I mean installing them the same way as you have. And when they are that way I can't install them in the order lightbar-fang-batwing. The order needs to be lightbar-batwing-fang.
